SCSI Tape lockups in 2.2.1

I'm running 2.2.1 with the following SCSI controller and tape drive:

scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.10/3.2.4
<Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter>

Drive:

Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 28388-XXX Rev: 5.53

Using tar to run a backup out to the drive, after an hour or so, the whole
machine freezes solid. No kernel oops or SCSI errors. It's frozen so bad,
that even a hard reset does not get the tape drive out of a locked up
state. The only thing that gets it working again is to power the system
off.

The same hardware configuration was working fine with 2.0.36.
